Some years before this period, 1910, exact, Packard
was fortunate obtaining the services man possessed
genius for management, for development new marketing
methods and for skill manufacturing with
machines—Alvan Macauley. His record mechanical
development work and building both production and
distribution cash registers and adding machines had
attracted the attention Packard directors and came
Packard general manager. With what else had offer
Packard from his experience with the National Cash Register
Company and the Burroughs Adding Machine Company,
Macauley had firmly grounded idea—it proved almost
half-billon dollar idea.
From the first, Packard had built cars for clientele
limited comparatively few because the high selling
prices. Limited production and hand labor necessitated
higher prices. The new thought which had been given great
consideration was that machines could built and tools
designed which would produce much improved motor cars
greater numbers. The World War intervened hold full
development the idea, but experience through the war
period helped carry successful fruition. European
combatants demanded Packard trucks numbers beyond
Packard’s ability produce. Every effort was bent toward
increasing production facilities. result Packard was
ready the entrance the United States into the world
conflict, with great plant and smoothly running production
line turning out trucks the many hundreds.
Mr. Macauley had been made President the company
1916 and believed inevitable that the United States would
drawn into the conflict. was convinced that this country
would called upon furnish great numbers fighting
airplanes. Because Mr. Macauley was right, Packard was
ready with the powerful Packard aircraft engine which
became the basis for the Liberty Aircraft Engine, perhaps
America’s greatest single contribution the cause the
Allies.
Accumulated experience designing and building fine
gasoline engines had made possible for Packard develop
and build the famous ‘‘905’’ the most powerful motor, and yet
the lighest, considering its power, that had ever been built

Motor and practically every water-cooled aircraft engine
which has ever been built—it wes the use welded sheet

With the new airplane engine, Colonel Vincent, Vice-
President Engineering, its designer, had also worked out
